The Durability of a product design is a key requirement in industry today. Customers expect a robust design. Late changes in the design cycle to respond to test results are expensive and create production and system risks. Simulation of the product durability provides early results and tremendous insight into the design for the product development team.
Altair Hyperworks provides load prediction, stress analysis using the Finite element method, and fatigue prediction using stress-life or strain-life methods. The entire Durability process can be managed by the Durability Director Process management tool.
